Carmela’s Story

In a age when airplanes cross the Atlantic in six hours and e-mails do so in seconds, it easy to forget a time when the trans-Atlantic journey was made once in a lifetime and often in only one directions: toward America. Then, America was the far-off land of riches, freedom and opportunity at the end of the rainbow.

This book tells the story of one woman’s journey over that rainbow – and into the looking glass.
